Love is like any other luxury. You have no right to it unless you can afford it.
Anthony Trollope Quotes
We cannot have heroes to dine with us. There are none. And were those heroes to be had, we should not like them...the persons whom you cannot care for in a novel, because they are so bad, are the very same that you so dearly love in your life, because they are so good.
